(St. Louis, M.T.) - A.T. Crane Post Master at the Post Office St. Louis, \"Post Office Change/Land Agency Office\" 25 Cents/Quart de Piastre Undated (Ca. 1818-19). PCGS Very Good 10 Apparent. Aaron T. Crane, the signer of this note, issued two distinct series of St. Louis Post Office notes. This bilingually denominated note is from a rare and early territorial change bill series. Each denomination was printed on delicate white paper without imprint. In the common style with accordion-style cartouches at both ends, showing POST OFFICE EXCHANGE at left and LAND AGENCY OFFICE at right. Obligations and the denomination are across, with the French equivalent neatly in italics at top center. The top and bottom show a decorative border. Crane's signature is visible at the bottom. Some examples observed are postmarked, but this apparently is not. Noted with \"Edge and Internal Tears.\" In average condition for notes that were printed on tissue-thin paper, then heavily used.
